The Scorpion II METRO is the ideal TMA for cities, counties, and urban districts with posted speeds of 50 mph (80 kph) or less.
The Scorpion II Metro is the shortest TL-2 Plus MASH TMA on the market with a length of only 8 ft (2.44 m), and a vertical storage height of less than 11.2 ft (3.4m), making it ideal for urban areas. The Scorpion II Metro provides full width impact protection by redirecting the impacting vehicle away from the "coffin corner" with its patented curved aluminum tube frames, and energy absorbing modules. The curved aluminum tubes provide protection against nuisance impacts while providing re-directional capabilities along the entire length of the TMA. Each energy absorbing module is made powder coated aluminum boxes with an aluminum honeycomb core for maximum durability and longevity.
The Scorpion II Metro is MASH Tested, Passed and Eligible at "infinite weight" allowing attachment to host vehicles with curb weights of only 7,500 lbs (3,402 kg), such as a Ford F-550.
Like the rest of the Scorpion line of impact attenuators, the Scorpion II Metro has a modular design that crushes in progressive stages, slowing the vehicle to a stop, and allowing easy replacement of damaged parts. This keeps your repair costs down, and helps to reduce waste entering our landfills.
